Few women have been more greatly loved, none has been more respected. Madame Schumann-Heink proved that love knows: no bounds. For her there must have been bitterness in a war which saw some of her sons fighting under the Stars and Stripes and other sons under the double eagle of Imperial Ger- taany. But, come what might, they were her sons and she loved them all. The war took much from her. She lived in a world which had been unutterably cruel—and she repaid that world by show- ing what love means. She heaped coals of fire upon its head and became almost a synonym for the vast and all-inclusive af- fection which we know as motherhood. In her attitude and her willingness to sacrifice she was the typical mother, not only of her own children but of the war vet- erans whom she called her “boys” and of the world at large. And she won love in return. Few either earned or received . deeper and more lasting affection. In death her soul lives on, for in every sense of the word she was a really great woman. American Peace Meeting Citizens’ who wonder at the fact that President Roosevelt | intends to participate in the Pan-American conference at Buenos Aires have no real cause for surprise. It was he who sponsored the idea of a meeting of the heads of American governments in the cause of peace and it is only natural that he should want to do everything in his power to make it successful. Principal aim of the movement is to promote peace and Ingare greater solidarity among the American Republics in their attitude toward chaotic world conditions. A secondary issue is that of giving North Americans a better status for trad- ing purposes. Much of our foreign commerce has turned from the east to the south in recent years and, on the whole, this development has been mutually advantageous. There was no mention of this, however, in the letters which es | Behind Scenes 2 —in— | Washington ee Big Electric Power Concerns to Get Little “Sympathy” from Roosevelt . . » Congress Expected to Approve More Legislation for Regulation .. .! F. D. R, Still Pressing St. Lawrence | Plan ... TVA Expansion Forecast «+. Arthur Morgan, Rebuffed, Be- lieved on Way Out, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Nov. 19.—Among big interests which bitterly opposed Roo- sevelt’s re-election, but who now are making goo-goo eyes—they're known among cynical New Dealers as the “forgive-and-forgetters”—the big elec- tric power companies can expect the least sympathy. The administration still regards these corporations as the bad boys of big business and belleves it has broken the industry's grip on the peo- ple. Nearly everyone who has talked about power with the president lately is convinced that there will be no letdown in the steady pressure on various fronts for cheaper and cheap- er electricity. There will be more power legisla- tion in the next congress. Some of it will be designed to integrate and strengthen existing set-ups. Its an excellent bet that Roose- velt will again push the St. Lawrence waterways project with its huge pos- sibilities of cheap power in New York state, Chairman Arthur E, Morgan of TVA, whose ideas as to how to deal with private power companies are far less militant than those of most other New Dealers, ts likely to retire within the next few months. * * * Utilities Foes Defeated Added bitterness has been injected by widespread belief that the “power trust” made extraordinary effort to drive from public life members of congress who last year were conspic- fous in fighting for the bill to regu- late holding companies. Despite a pro-New Deal sweep, it 1s charged, most such members had a& hard time and Driscoll of Pennsyl- vania, who exposed the Associated Gas & Electric Company's fake tele- grams, and Sisson of New York were defeated by power #:npany efforts, it is alleged. a No one except the president seems to know yet the extent to which-his conference a few weeks before elec- tion on a proposed power pool in the Tennessee Valley was a campaign gesture, although it is known that po- litics was a factor. A three-month extension of the existing agreement for sale of TVA power was arranged, but insiders in- sist Roosevelt will be hard-boiled in demanding widespread distribution of TVA power at low rates and accep- tance of the principle that present transmission lines function as com- mon carriers for both private and government-produced power. *x* eK Companies in Bad Spot Power enthusiasts in high posts agree that TVA power eventually will be serving such large cities as Knox- ville, Chattanooga, Memphis, and Nashville. Power companies now buying huge | amounts of electricity from TVA would face a shortage of power if they were to refuse to buy or were denied the government product. They would have a hard time raising money to build new generating facilities in the face of government competition. every kind of humiliation at the hands of Japan that definite indica- tions of change of front is world news of utmost importance. Accord-) ing to dispatches from Kweihua, the capital of Suiyan province, the Chin- ese have repulsed an invading Mon- gol-Manchukuan army of 30,000. Since the attacking force was well supplied with tanks and airplanes, the Chinese are convinced the Japan- ese army must be supporting this movement. Premier Chiang Kai-shek, generalis- simo of the Chinese armies, has de- termined to go the limit in the de- fense of this gateway to China's vast northwest. This is only one of several recent indications that China is at last ready for a showdown with Japan. have knuckled down to the Japanese oe Walking Delegate With Other EDITOR from Chinese textbooks, All sorts of jindignities were committed in North ;China as Japan gradually extended the zone of her influence, Japanese j goods were being smuggled into China jwith impunity. No matter how j humiliating the demands China seem-| ed always willing to submit to them. But keen observers coming out of China had taken note of the fact that all during this period Chiang Kai- shek has been far from inactive. In five years a greater mileage of roads has been built than in the previous 3,000 years. Motor trucks now rush food and supplies over them to check the scourge of floods and famines. The generalissimo has created a crack army of 250,000 troops, but he has used them principally to wage a suc- cessful struggle against Chinese Com- munists, and as a result he has grad- ually secured the support of the lead- ers of the various provinces, who were formerly little more than bandit chiefs at odds with each other and DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FAR EAST (Brooklyn Daily Eagle) China has so long accepted almost It is significant that The extent to which the Chinese Reprinted what they may of may ni agree with them. ment in that country since the death (in 1908) of the Empress Dowager, Tzu Hsi,” Hallett Abend in the New York Times says: “Chinese leaders are pleased at the apparent success of Nanking’s new positive policy of resistance, which is believed to be responsible for the milder tone of the Japanese announcements.” What the result of all these changes will be no one knows. With Chiang building an elaborate system of trenches and cement pill-boxes for machine guns, rapidly increasing his supply of war planes and also quietly continuing his process of unification, the likelihood of Japan being able to gain any swift military victory is gradually lessening. It has been gen- erally understood that the purpose of the dominant Japanese army party is to subject Chinese officials to the positions of mere puppets such as has been brought about in Manchu- kuo. But as Chinese resistance has been stiffening and Tokio begins to realize it might face a real war, the Your Personal Health By William Brady, M.

THE ATTACK OF HEMORRHOIDS The veins enlarged, dilated, varicosed or swollen in the condition called pis or hemorrhoids empty directly into the portal vein which collects jlood from the ‘alimentary tract and carries it to the liver. Any engorge- ment, congestion or. overloading of the portal system or the liver therefore predisposes to piles or precipitates an “attack” of piles if one is subject to the trouble. Moreover the hemorrhoidal veins have no valves and so in the upright posture their walls must support the weight or pressure of a column of blood extending from the pile area to the level of the diaphragm or mid- Persons subject to hemorrhoids or piles may be unaware of the presence of any trouble unless it happens that the internal varicosity bleeds enough to warn that there is something wrong or becomes inflamed and protrudes or prolapses, or becomes externally thrombosed (clotted) and exceedingly pain- ful. One with piles usually has such “attacks” at intervals; in the intervals between “attacks” the victim may be persuaded the piles have been “cured,” but the cure, wi spontaneous or brought about by treatment, lasts until the next “attack, Sometimes a victim of piles actually achieves a spontaneous or natural cure—the pile becomes externally thrombosed or clotted and inflamed and of course very painful for several days, and finally the clot shrivels or becomes | into fibrous or scar tissue and obliterates the varicose vein in the Process of healing—a permanent cure of that particular hemorrhoid. Whether cured by nature or by surgery or by diathermy or by injection treatment, the obliteration of one pile or hemorrhoid is no greater assurance against future development of piles or hemorrhoids than the patient had be- fore the first attack.

If your doctor falls short of this, he is incompetent and does not deserve your con- fidence. ‘Clearly.Jt would be folly to employ remedies against hemorrhoids or piles if the bleeding happens to be from some other source, and that can be determined in any case only by proper examination.

We Are Giving It Back One of the oldest chestnuts heard in these parts is that gbout giving the land back to the Indians. It usually is suggested in jest, but the fact is that, to a marked degree, this is happening now as a part of the govern- ment’s policy to make Indians self-sustaining members of the American commonwealth. Thus a summary of work on Indian reservations in 1935 shows that our red brothers cultivated 583,452 acres that year, an increase of 14 per cent over 1934. They had 53 cooperative livestock associations with 2,217 cattle owners as members and 27,956 families planted 28,624 acres in gardens. Young Indians enrolled in 4-H club work totalled 5,138, an increase of 19.76 per cent over 1934 and 1,286 new dwellings were constructed. In addition to these figures, it is necessary to realize that some of the finest water power and irrigation sites in the na- tion are on Indian reservations and are being developed for their use, the prospect being that figures on tilled land for 1937 will show a sharp increase. This i& being done without imposing a new burden on the white man. In fact his burden will be lessened if the Indians become self-supporting and the drain on the government treas- ury from that direction is substantially reduced. A National Parks report reveals that wild turkeys are becoming less timid. The domestic kind, however, still have trouble keeping their heads. : oe “Never disengage the clutch until just before the car comes to a stop.” Of course, if a cop is in sight, it is wise to break away from her.

A few months ago he told Roose- velt he would resign if Lilienthal were reappointed a TVA director. Roose- velt reappointed Lilienthal and Arthur Morgan's ill-wishers have been grinning expectantly at him ever since. Senator George Norris probably will push his Mississippi Valley Authority plan at the next session. But the St. Lawrence project has been a Roose- velt pet ever since 1912, when he was in the New York senate and one of his first communications as governor outdid Al Smith, who had also been interested, by suggesting the possibil- ity of public transmission and distri- bution of St. Lawrence power.
